For Georgia’s defense, it’s déjà vu all over again. Missouri and Mississippi are one and two in the conference in offensive pass yardage. Missouri and Mississippi are the SEC’s twelfth and thirteenth ranked teams in offensive rushing yardage. These are both pass first and ask questions later offenses. Missouri got off to a quick start last week throwing the ball all over creation and it’s reasonable to expect Ole Miss to do the same. How Georgia deploys its safeties in the first half could be a big deal; Lock had a much rougher go of things after Tucker gave Briscoe safety help on his side of the field in the game’s second half.

Yeah, it would be nice indeed if Georgia’s defense racked up a few sacks today. They’re next to last in the SEC in that department. What I’m really curious to see, though, is how the inside linebackers hold up. Between Kelly’s threat to run and Evan Engram, they’ll really be challenged.

For Georgia’s offense, at first glance, things look tougher this week, as Mississippi is fourth in the SEC in defensive passing yards, compared to Missouri at thirteenth. But when you scratch the surface and look at defensive passer rating, it’s a different story: Missouri is fourth and Ole Miss is twelfth. Ole Miss is the only team in the conference without an interception. Neither team’s run defense has been stellar so far, although Mississippi’s has had it tougher. That being said, Missouri did pretty well loading the box last week. It’s not unreasonable to expect Ole Miss to come out the same way. Chaney and Eason have to make them pay for that, or it’s gonna be a long day.

In other words, expect this game to look a lot like last week’s, with one big difference. Ole Miss’ offense has a lot more experience in its offensive system than Missouri’s did. It’s hard to see how Georgia’s defense doesn’t face some of the same struggles it had in the first half in Columbia. If we can expect the Rebels’ defense to sell out against Chubb and Company, is it reasonable to think Georgia’s defense makes a similar decision with regard to Kelly?

You’ll notice one thing I haven’t mentioned is special teams. If I don’t mention them in tomorrow’s Observations post, it will have been a good day. Unfortunately, I expect them to merit a bullet point or two.

I wrote yesterday that I don’t have a good feeling about this game. I don’t think Georgia is going to be able to maintain the time of possession advantage that’s help power it through its three wins and without doing so, I think Ole Miss, with its more dynamic offense, wins and covers. Call it a ten-point difference. Sure hope I’m wrong.

But we did win, amirite?! Look, the staff knows they have to get Chubb going in this one. He’ll have 55 touches if necessary. The upgrade to our coaching staff is on D who know OM well. Take the crowd out early and Eason will be fine. Early stops on D and first score by Dawgs and OM will lay down.

Surprise star of the game…Reggie Davis who has been open deep but underthrown. I expect Chaney sees some misdirection with IMac that will get Davis in single coverage with no safety help for our first TD.

Will we see some significant wrinkles in our offense to throw Ole Miss off and especially to give Chubb some room to work? Or is Smart’s/Cheney’s plan just to show what’s already been done and count on us being more physical and executing better?

I’ll never quit on em’, but what we are seeing today is piss poor management of a top tier program by an administration that was given the benefit of the doubt for far too long.
I hope those that put us here lose every fucking game they ever play,that includes Georgia tech and whatever the Colorado equivalent of that is and fuck you karma Bitchez.
Eason is a gamer, they are out classed and playing with heart. I may drive to Athens tomorrow and buy a Kirby Smart jersey even if I have to have it custom made.
Peace brothers, I’m out.

Here’s where we stand. We are as good as a very good mid major team. Weaker than decent opponents in almost every aspect of the game. Way overachieving at 3-0. Light years from being competitive in big games.

Some days are just like this. At halftime, this team will have to ask themselves, “is this who we are?”. Young team. young QB and the roof caving in. The faked punt might help. Oh well, dropped TD pass.
Just dropped 3rd and 8. Just dropped another one. Imac is trying to catch the ball with his body instead of his hands..the ball he caught to beat Mizzo was with his body and he was lucky to hang on to it. A receiver coach should not let a player use his body first to catch the ball. Gotta use those hands.

Came into today not expecting a win, which is fine. Even imagined it could get ugly, which is has. The only thing worth watching for the rest of the day is what halftime adjustments are made, what type of fire is brought, who asks themselves if they’re going to finish of the 60 minutes. I mean really, what else do we have to look for in the 2H?

That’s awesome. We continue to be a laughing stock. Our receivers and db’s are as bad as I’ve ever seen. Ever! I’ve defended Chaney but I’m starting to think he’s an idiot. OL new verse, same as the first. I don’t see how this can be repaired.

What was that old complaint about not being able to beat a good team. Kirby hasn’t got Bama guys anymore and we won’t have them for at least two more years. Enjoy the 2nd half wish I could still drink.

Worse. Bama was a national championship team, not a team that was under .500 after blowing two massive leads. This OM team is decent, not a championship caliber team. Prior to today, couldn’t run the ball. Couldn’t stop the run. Turned it over like crazy. If you saw their first half today, they look like world beaters…but they aren’t. They will be lucky to finish 3rd in the west.

Not worse. You can’t judge the game on what Alabama had and ignore our team. In 2008, we had Stafford, Green, and Moreno. We had way more talent on the OL, as well. So sure, Ole Miss isn’t as good as Alabama ’08, but we had a hell of a lot more talent then than we do now. So yeah, this loss is not worse than the blackout funeral.

About the same, all things considered. We were preseason no. 1 in ’08 and had serious national-championship aspirations going into the Bama game, so the disappointment was greater in that game, especially since we were at home.

However, that Bama team was a lot better than this Ole Miss team, and we look shockingly uncompetitive.

I’d say Bama ’08 was worse. Our team started the year #1, had the #1 overall draft pick in his junior year, played at home in a night game in an intense environment, and Saban Bama wasn’t quite the machine it is today.

That Georgia team was a helluva lot more talented than this Georgia team.

In terms of talent, those groups really aren’t that bad. Especially when you throw in this ridiculous group of TEs. We shouldn’t have any trouble passing the ball. But they can’t get any separation, which I attribute more to coaching than anything else. And Eason’s only got about a half-second to throw the ball because of our shit-stain of an OL. With a great OL, I don’t think anyone would be complaining about our receivers. We need more size, sure, but Godwin was a 5-star, and McKenzie and Davis were both highly recruited 4-stars.

And our DB group isn’t bad either. Sanders, Parrish, Davis, and Smith have all played very well. And let’s not forget that Sanders, Parrish, and Davis were all part of the best passing defense in the SEC last year. But here, too, they’ve looked worse than they really are because our DL has yet to get any pressure on an opposing QB. Even the best DB group in the country will look mediocre when they’ve got to defend for 5+ seconds every single play. Lorenzo Carter is one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.

Good points. But Ole Miss receivers look head and shoulders and another man on his shoulders above ours. Briscoe is getting abused and perhaps that’s skewing my take. Up front is where it all begins and we are late for the party.

I’ll give you that the kicking game is garbage. But on offense and defense, we’re actually a very talented football team.

We’ve got more talent at TE than just about any team in the country. Our receivers aren’t getting any separation (which I attribute more to coaching), and we could use a little more size at that position. But Godwin was a 5-star, and McKenzie and Davis were both highly recruited 4-stars. Of course, we’ve got loads of talent at RB as well. And he may be a freshman, but Eason’s got all the potential in the world. So I’m not saying we’re great, but we are a good team on offense … just not on the offensive line. This offensive line is the worst I’ve seen in a long, long time.

We had one of the best defenses in the SEC last season, and the #1 passing defense in the conference. The secondary is good. Again, not great, but certainly good. But as I explain above, they’ve looked worse than they really are because the DL isn’t putting any pressure whatsoever on opposing QBs.

If we were better on either side of the line, we’d immediately be better everywhere else.

The #1 Pass Defense in the nation is why we have the phrase, “Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics”. Our pass defense was not great last year. I have written about this several times. Georgia Southern and tech are triple-option teams. Auburn is basically an option team. USCe, Mizzou, Vandy, and Kentucky were horrible offenses. Florida had lost their QB by the time they played us.
The best passing team we played was Bama at #62. Number 2 was Kentucky at #79. We played 5 of the bottom 20 passing teams. Look at our opponents offensive numbers. Last years secondary, like this years, was above average but not great.

Ok, we’re going to play this silly game of “proving our manhood” by shoving Chubb into the line until it works. Had a feeling Davis could be the key WR, but Eason has no time to set and throw. Mental mistakes everywhere, so feel free to blame that on ( insert coach’s name here ). The D looks as lost as ever. Somebody get Briscoe a Southwest Airlines ticket…”Wanna get away?” Rodrigo should give his eyewear to Hamm..maybe that will work.

Please, for f’s sake, treat the 2nd half as a new game. Work on things that need help and don’t get Eason killed or Chubb banged up. Find out who is buying in to the process. Come away with something. No reason at all to let this be our first steps of wandering into the desert.

im not sure any one or two plays really would have changed the outcome of this half. i think it was predestined for us to get beat down, even if we did make some catches or tackles. this was and is going to happen

we’re getting beat on both lines. burned at corner. zero kicking game. can’t make the open tackles on CK. you get it to 17-7 and those impurities are still there and sink us throughout the rest of the game.
YMMV

heh. i don’t disagree with that general sentiment of a few plays here and there could alter the game cadence and momentum and who knows from there – i just disagree with that today. i don’t think there’s anything we’re doing right with the sole exceptions of executing a fake punt and that one drive where we got the run game going. so what are we supposed to do? feed the rock down 17? down 24? down 31? down 38?… fake punts on first down?

I guess we can safely say now we’re playing for next year. I said two weeks ago was either an aberration or the canary in the coal mine. Today officially gave us the answer. Other than possibly ULL, I don’t see a sure win left on the schedule and that includes USCe, UK and Vandy. The tech game may be a pillow fight for the Governor’s Cup.

So how does a coach like Kirby deal with this type of loss? Sure Alabama lost some games while he was there, but never like this. Does he know how to deal with a team that’s been brutally owned? Did he learn that from Nick?

I’d take one of our shittiest defenders(it would be tough to choose) and have him knock Kelly out of the game with a late hit. Cheating POS. That or just have Carter “accidentally” nail Sleaze on the sideline. Cut of the head of the snake. Unfortunately you’d need a sniper to hit the bagmen up in the skyboxes.

Point is the kid can’t tackle or look back for a ball in the air on coverage. He shows too much “softness”….needs to be benched for anyone that can fog a mirror…..surely we have someone that can compete

Congratulations fire-Richters. Good job. Your insecurities have manifested to an unproven “process” coach. Put your crayons away, Bobo is the next coach for UGA. Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Now we know for sure what we all thought before. We do not have a lot of SEC level competitors. Is Kirby the answer? I hope so. We need big recruits and we need them everywhere… except maybe TE and RB. Let’s make the best of what’s left. Go Dawgs! Beat UT… Chattanooga. 🙊

Congrats on jumping from the winningest coach in UGA history to an unproven Sabah disciple. If most people displayed 10% of the expectations they have for “their” football coach, this would be a better world, free of trailer parks and mouth breathing hypocrites.

Final score was 45-14. I remember a 49-10 defeat at the hands of Florida in 2008. And we had Stafford, Moreno, and Green at that point, so the talent gap was a lot closer in that game. I’d say your wait is over.

Good for you. Note to self: Check with Chris before developing expectations. Also, Chris frowns on trailer park people and is intolerant of differing opinions. We would have whipped Ole Miss with CMR. Keep telling yourself that.

This may be the (I sure hope) the lowpoint of Kirby’s time at Georgia. It’s certainly an opportune time to turn the corner, because I don’t see how it could get any worse. Georgia will still lose some (maybe a lot) of games this year, but not in this awful fashion.
How “The Most Georgia Thing Ever”, that this team would be this inept in the one year where everyone was pointing to how favorable the schedule is for it. Shit. All we had to do was field a pretty good team to take the East. Now it looks like we could finish 4th or 5th.

Nahhhh…Poas. Costa Rica. This time of year you would be lighting a small fire in the fireplace at night. Tomorrow you’d be catching trout with a hand line and banana slice and eating them with eggs,and black beans.
🙂

I hope you all show up next week ready to back our team. They need their fans behind them. I loved Mark Richt but he is gone and neither those of us whous supported Richt or those wanted him fired know what the score would have been. I know the team will be working on catching the ball this week. Come ready to be loud next week and if you are negative give your tickets to someone who can be positive.

Amen, all the bickering between the different coaching factions has gotten motherf@$#%€g ridiculous. Everyone needs to shut the hell up, take a deep breath, and quite being a bunch of whining babies. Was what happened to Richt right? Not Really. Is Kirby the answer? Too early to tell. Are we lacking in talent in a lot of areas? Oh hell yeah. Everyone needs to put their stupid agenda aside, and remember we all started reading this blog because we’re Dawg fans dammit! Remember that and let’s quit being assholes for a little bit huh?

Who me? Nope, he lost me, for good, after Alabama last year. While I wasn’t screameing “Fire Richt!” all day, every day. I wasn’t sad to see him go. I was more in favor of hiring someone with HC experience though, but I will support Kirby until he’s had time enough to have fully implemented his system, with his players.

I agree. I was in favor of getting rid of MR and probably got a little salty about it on here. I didn’t like what I saw today but it’s one game. And Ole Miss is honestly more talented on both lines and at WR. We all know that they pay players so why shouldn’t they be? Add in some questionable coaching decisions and you end up with a shit sandwich like we saw today. Who knows? Maybe we’ll beat the Vowels next week. Stranger things have happened.

Means nothing. Look at the distribution. Look at the 2013 class. Look at the talent that has just left the program. Plus, we were wrong on evaluation on a ton of those players. We have an OL that is atrocious, WR than can’t get separation, can’t block, can’t catch, and undersized, slow DBs that have lucked out by not facing a passing team in 2 years.

You can throw out those rankings, but I know what I saw. Aside from Chubb and Trent, who did you see that was better than their Ole Miss counterpart?

Good point. Bill Connelly is an idiot. Sure, he has his fancy statistics, but we’ve got the eye test. Everybody knows that Richt just used walk-ons for all of his teams. Thank God Smart brought in the greatest lineman in the country in Catalina. If we just had a few more like him, we would be sitting pretty.

The DBs are fine. It is the same guys as last year. They are playing as well as they did last year. They are good but not great. When a QB makes a great throw into double coverage and the WR makes a great play, there isn’t much you can expect them to do. We will not see a group of WR like that for the rest of the season.

Yeah, our WRs are WAY too small. They can’t get separation. When they do, they keep dropping the ball. We have 3 commits: 6’2″, 6’3″, and 6’5″. We have probably 2 more slots open. Looking forward to Ridley being healthy. We need Wims to step up.

The OL is where the big problem is. We have an FCS LT, 3 Guards and a 3rd string DT as an OL. Pike is a quality Guard, but is a liability at RT. If we had a natural Center, we could make the line from left to right: Wynn, Kublanow, New Center, Pike, Catalina. That would be better but still less than good. It would be easier to get Catalina some TE help on the right side. We need to find a way to get Sims and Galliard the hell off of the field. Will one of the freshmen step up at Guard? Doesn’t look like it.

“You are never as good as they say you are when you win and never as bad as they say you are when you lose.” That old saying is still true. I am still hopeful that the Dawgs will salvage a respectable season and maybe even win a bowl. That said, I feel the worst I have ever felt about the UGA coaching staff since I started following Georgia football in 1964, This team wasn’t ready to play today–and that falls squarely on the coaching staff. Other than Schotty and CMR I thought our coaching staff last year was pretty damn good. So the powers that be fire CMR after a 10 win season because Kirby Smart (a “son of Georgia”) is about to get hired by South Carolina and we sure as hell don’t want that–the Gamecocks to get our Georgia Boy!! A helluva reason to make a coaching change. I was ready for CMR to be gone, too, but only if the suits hired a coach that would be an improvement. Instead of interviewing Gary Patterson, Tom Herman, or any other proven HC with an excellent track record we hired another Mark Richt–a career coordinator with no HC experience. Well guys, get ready for a couple of years of OJT for our vaunted new HC and his miserable staff of assistants. This staff is terrible. If someone had said to CKS that he can have the HC job but he would have to keep the old staff intact except for Schotty that would have been one thing. But to hire CKS and an entire staff of retreads is a little much to take. Get ready for Johnny Griffith redux. I hope not but it is looking more that way each game. Last season the Senator said that he didn’t want to fire CMR because he was afraid that B-M would f*ck up the hire for his replacement. I felt the same way and said so repeatedly. Boy, those B-M people sure are predictable.

Wow, it took 4 games for the split in the fan base to open back up. We got our @$$3$ handed to us today. I don’t know if it’s talent, coaching, culture or a mixture of all 3 into a witch’s brew of horrific proportions. I had this game as a loss because of home field and an edge at the most important on the field, quarterback. What this game spiraled into was the result of a mixture of coaching and remnants of culture. The coaches appear to be bull-headed about running between the tackles on early downs on offense and refusing to give the line help with rushing the passer (Senator, 3rd and Tucker is coming) in obvious passing situations. The culture of collapsing when things don’t go your way reared its ugly head in the 1st half. I don’t know what the fixes are, but I don’t get paid $3,750,000 a year to figure it out.

Tri, if B-M had hired A first rate HC with experience who could bring a winning staff with him the fan base would be united. B-M choked on the hire. That is what you get when idiots grt to make the decisions. We’ll have to live with this for 2-3 more years then maybe those dopes will hire a real HC next time. What I saw today was Ray Goof all over again.

93,000 people didn’t come to G-Day to see Ludicris. They came to watch a scrimmage and excited to see what was going to be different. The fan base including those referred to as Richtophiles or Richtophants wanted to see if this staff was going to move the needle. If you don’t think the fan base had come together, you wouldn’t have seen the dome field advantage we saw on Labor Day weekend.

Many people including the Mayor and myself wanted a true search for an EXPERIENCED head coach. I wasn’t a Tom Herman fan because I hadn’t thought he was at it long enough (I was wrong – the guy can flat coach). I wanted us to make David Shaw turn us and our Brinks trucks down.

I decided to give Kirby a chance when he was hired. He won the opening press conference. He kept together a really good recruiting class and improved it. He’s putting together a wonderful class for this year. He’s trying to instill a toughness into the team that has been lacking in that department for some time. He’s trying to balance winning now with developing a young QB that can be the cornerstone of the future. He has also talked down the talent on this team publicly to the point where I believe he has killed some of these guys’ confidence. He made some changes that I believe are a slap at the tradition here before him (the “dressy” DawgWalk and the elimination of bones as helmet stickers). He doesn’t appear to like interacting with the common folk and seems to take a “I don’t have time for this s—” approach with the Dawg Nation. Some of that works when you come to a place with a record of success. Some of that can blow up in your face if you aren’t successful.

It’s 4 games in. I don’t disagree about preferring an experienced coach, but it is what it is.

Have you seen Shaw and Stanford play? If you think the OL looks bad now, imagine what it would look like in Stanford’s offense.

It is what it is. Kirby is going to improve the overall talent level on the roster over the next 3-4 years. I have no doubt about that. Whether he can translate it to wins is going to play out over time.

But I do believe he’s going to have a much more complete, more talented roster going forward.

I know how Stanford plays. They also do it without 4 and 5 star players at every position but with guys who play hard, fundamentally sound, and limit mistakes. You don’t see Stanford’s classes at the top of recruiting rankings.

I agree … It’s 4 games in, and Kirby is going to get his fair shot. Most reasonable people weren’t expecting a championship this year even with Nick Chubb back. I’m willing to wait and see what happens, but if we see more performances like yesterday, Kirby is going to find his honeymoon to be over quickly. Once you’re on the hot seat, you never get off just the temperature changes.

Dude, Richt lost worse two time I can think of 49-10 to the Gators in 2008 and 41-10 to LSU in 2011. Kirby might never be worth a damn, but stop acting like today was the worst loss in program history.

Now it’s the “no championships, no peace” crowd on one side and the “why don’t you go cheer for the U” crowd on the other.

You’re right, gatriguy, it’s a mess, and the problem is there’s no one who is a leader that has time for this $#!+ to fix it. I’m officially worried Kirby is going to be so wedded to the Process that he’s going to waste every bit of goodwill with the fan base.

Juwuan Briscoe looks way too much like Bryan Evans. Always getting beat, never targeting the ball, and not even making it a fight when the receiver catches it. Do we not have anyone that will at least win some lose some?

Right. Funny how people conveniently keep forgetting this. If Smart is losing like this in ’18, I’ll be all for a coaching change wand will admit his time as a failure. But to do it after 4 games with CMR’s roster is so pathetic it’s laughable.

No one is calling for a coaching change after 4 games and I am not calling his time as HC a failure. I am saying he stunk today, he stunk on his own and he deserves to be criticized for it. That does not mean he cannot learn from his mistakes and I hope he does.

I wish we had hired an experienced head coach. Wish we had tried to get Tom Herman, but we didn’t. That means Smart is the coach of my team and I want him to win every damn game.

Blame someone who spent the week 700 miles away from Butts-Mehre for our lack of preparation if you want, but I am not.

Good point. Richt played the long con. He spent 15 years ruining the team. Now, he could have done it in three, but frankly, the SEC is too easy of a conference for that. Even with awful coaching and recruiting, 10 wins is nearly guaranteed. Instead, Richt bided his time and was finally able to build a team of top ten recruiting classes that sucks so much that not even Smart and McGarity may be capable of winning 10 games. And we all know how easy that is!

You are a really smart guy, a business success. You know that it is appropriate to evaluate Smart for what he does, not for what someone else did.

Smart is not entitled to immunity just because you did not like his predecessor. We stunk today. We were not mentally focused and our strategy was odd, considering the match ups. Richt has nothing to do with that.

My perspective wasn’t that we lost. It was the manner in which we lost. We spit the bit, soiled the bed, laid an egg, face planted or any other term you want to use. That’s about being resilient & focused and really is what cost the previous guy his job. If we had fought like mad and lost, hey, you tip your cap to the other guy and tell him good luck the rest of the season. When your team plays like it doesn’t have a pulse, it is the coaching staff’s fault. The roster isn’t where anyone wants it to be especially along the lines of scrimmage, but playing hard, physical and fundamentally sound is a choice. This team decided not to do it today.

One of two things must be the case. Either (a) he really is the “best in the business” OL coach that everyone says he is, or (b) he’s overrated as all hell. For now, I’m inclined to trust his reputation. But think about what that implies. If the best OL coach in the country can’t keep our OL from looking like a bunch of turnstiles, then perhaps the talent (and strength) at that position is even worse than we all suspected. (Maybe the rumors are true, and the last coaching regime couldn’t evaluate OL talent for shit.) Either way, we’re going to have to be patient and let Pittman rebuild this OL from the ground up.

The Mark Richt crowd must have forgotten the loses to Vandy, a very crappy SC a couple of years ago….the trashing by the hands of Fla the past two years, one with Faton as the starter, the bonehead kick off call against Tech. The trashing by Tenn in 2007(?) when the Dawgs had the players for a title run. The I don’t give a crap expressions on his face.
These Richt people make me pull against UM every game.

A couple years from now I hope we can all look back on this as an aberration.

But if you don’t understand its going to be a long couple years you probably need to renew your symphony tickets, cause for better or worse we changed coaches, and that’s almost a guarantee of a couple of years in the doldrums.

Yes, you can sit back and say, hmmm Mark Richt won 10 games last year with a team that was slightly less talented than this one, but that would be a pointless exercise.

We changed coaches, whether that made you happy or sad, deal with the consequences.

Remember, Scorpio, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

The problem is that the Bulldog Nation has been in the hope stage for 36 years now as 5 of our fellow conference members have won crystal footballs (3 of those including our bloodlust rival have won multiple). In some cases, that hope has turned to frustration and now downright anger.

This one is over and in the books. Bootch Please is coming to town and will be wearing that shit eating grin of his when he arrives. We’re gonna need a privet specialist when they leave I think they take half the hedges home with them.
Oh and Florida ain’t gonna be in a good mood when we play .
Gus got a new bus.
Does Tech play here this year?

AHD, when you look at the remaining games in light of what happened yesterday every single game remaining on the Dawgs’ schedule is in play–including U La La. I’m not sure the team I saw yesterday in Oxford can beat UK and Vandy, much less Auburn, UT and FU. Tech, too.

I agree. 4 games in and this season is already on the brink. A woodshed loss in Athens this weekend at the hands of a Tennessee team that will be smelling blood in the water would be disastrous. I’m not even talking about winning a division … I’m talking about respectability. Why do I feel like this is potentially 1989-1990 all over again? I lived that as a student … I never want to go back there again.

Does getting along mean ignoring the shortfalls of the program in a game that was supposed to be an early measuring stick? I guess we’re all supposed to give the staff credit for all of the wins this year and the previous staff the blame for all of the losses. That’s not the way it works, and I haven’t seen anyone say the previous staff would have won this game. I’ve seen a team that hasn’t played well the last 3 weeks on either side of the ball but especially on offense. It’s not all players and execution, and it’s not all coaching and preparation. There’s a lot of blame to go around.

If we end up wandering in the wilderness like UT did, I guarantee you we’ll still be arguing about the decisions made in November and December 2015.

let me give the “Can’t we all just get along crowd” something to chew on. I don’t care if we as dawg fans can or can not agree on a particular “issue”. I care about who is right/correct and who is wrong/incorrect.. If 60%-75% of the fan base is certain that changing Coaches was the right thing to do , the mere fact that they were a majority did not make them correct ….it merely made them whiny trolls who just KNEW that change would be for the better. Those of us who correctly pointed out that all change is NOT good and pointing out that firing the winning-est (% wise ) Coach we ever had would historically(Phil Fulmer and L , Carr) and statistically be unlikely to produce a superior result were dismissed as Richt lovers . What the powers that be at Butts-Mehre need to be is right…. not popular. What most people with a brain intuitively understood was that the B-M crowd already had a significant track record of not being right about damn near anything. I don’t want to be understood,agreed with, respected or even right. What I want is to win. Our brain trust and whiners have in all probability doomed us to wandering in the Michigan/Tenn wilderness for the next decade. Thank you McGarity. I am officially changing my trivia team name from “Micheal Adams must Die” to “Greg McGarity must Die “. How much can I get for my 25 yard line lower level tickets with seat backs and parking pass to the UT game ? I do not need to watch this exercise in futility.

Quote Of The Day

“But outside of that, the biggest advantage you can have is have good leadership, have a veteran football team, and when you’ve got that, it doesn’t matter whether you have spring practice or not. When you don’t have that, it’s tougher, when you don’t have leadership and you don’t have the experience at certain positions.”— Kirby Smart, Dawgs247, 3/31/20
